Mule Integration with LinkedIn

1. Login to https://developer.linkedin.com/  which allows creating apps.2. Create an app by giving the valid details.

3. Client ID, Client Secret keys will be generated. Those will be used as API Key and API Secret key in LinkedIn.

a. OAuth 2.0 URL is for authentication process which will fetch the accessToken from LinkedIn.

b. The URL must be same as the one defined in the LinkedIn Connector OAuth.

4. As the LinkedIn restricted the access for developers. We can only use the AUTHORIZE, GET PROFILE BY URL operations using the LinkedIn Connector.

5. Now I implemented a flow to first authorize and gets the AccessToken and OAuthVerifier.

6. Next I am performing the GetProgileByURL to get a specific user details by giving their LinkedIn URL.
